These light and fluffy waffles are flavored to taste like banana cream pudding and are drenched with a decadent homemade vanilla syrup.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day right? So it’s the perfect time to go all out. These pancakes are flavored with one of the new McCormick Baking Flavors in Banana Cream. I came across this stuff in the market and couldn’t resist. Who wouldn’t want Banana Cream flavored anything?
This stuff is amazing, it smells just like banana pudding, and it definitely gave the same flavor to these waffles. And before you ask, no this is not a sponsored post. This is just me gushing over how amazing this stuff is. It’s basically like adding vanilla to things, but better!
Speaking of vanilla…did I tell you these waffles are drenched in some amaze-balls homemade vanilla syrup. Yeee-uuuhhhh. And it’s possibly one of the best things I’ve ever made. Not just any syrup would do these waffles justice. I wanted something that would complement the banana cream flavor, and regular syrup just wouldn’t have done it.
Don’t be intimidated by making your own syrup, I’m sure you have all the ingredients in your pantry, and it only takes a few minutes! Trust me, it’s super simple, and will completely astound and amaze people.
Just look at that delightful-ness in there. It’s soooooo good. There are no words.

Perla says
October 24, 2014 at 8:34 PMHi!
My husband is wanting me to make these for him but I need to go to the store to buy the flavoring. I haven’t seen these anywhere. Where did you purchase yours?
Serene says
October 24, 2014 at 11:13 PMHi Perla 🙂 I bought mine from Tom Thumb, which is the same as Safeway, and Vons depending on where you live. I found it in the baking aisle. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it at other markets too. It was set up on a small cardboard display, it’s a new product. I hope you find it!

August 12, 2015 at 2:03 PMHello!
I am definitely planning on making those! Regarding the syrup though – I have a small family of two, so there’s a slight chance that there will be leftover syrup. Any thoughts on how long that would keep in the fridge, or would I be better off halving the recipe? Thanks for the fabulous recipe!
Serene says
August 12, 2015 at 9:06 PMI was able to keep the syrup for about 3-4 days. For a family of two and if you’re just wanting to use it for the waffles the one day I would recommend halving the recipe 🙂 I hope you enjoy!

December 7, 2016 at 12:08 PMHi! I’ve made this twice now. My family and I really enjoy it! I do have 1 tip though. I could taste the alcohol from my vanilla extract the first time I made it following your directions, so the second time I made it I added the vanilla in with the water and sugar before boiling 3-5 minutes and that burned all the alcohol taste off! This recipe is a keeper and I’m giving a jar to a friend today as an early Christmas present. Thank you for sharing!
Serene says
December 15, 2016 at 9:32 PMThanks so much for the tip Wendi! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe! And what a great gift idea 🙂
Kelsey says
February 1, 2018 at 7:51 PMI have made these twice now and they are delicious! For some reason though when I make the syrup I can never get the corn starch to fully dissolved and there are a few little lumps on her left. Syrup is good enough that we don’t mind too much though

Kimberly says
October 28, 2018 at 3:50 PMIs the flavoring the same as banana extract?
Serene says
October 29, 2018 at 4:40 PMBasically! I would add just a touch of vanilla extract to it.
